Rainy Day 2

     Something happened with the battery charger that we left behind in Catpa being sent to us in Hoi An and now we might only be able to pick it up in Phnom Penh in a couple of weeks.  

     It rained again today and was pleasantly cool, but we switched hotels yet again because it wasn't quite cool enough not to require the broken airconditioner.  People roam the streets selling ponchos and umbrellas, even to those of us that are amply stocked in both.  Passing cars and motobikes send up splashes of gritty water when they aren't careful and one of the towels had to be sacrificed to mop up the dirty footprints left by those of us who wear flipflops.

     My dress was finished today!  Not quite to my design, but I love it and am not complaining.  My parents are at yet another suit fitting for my dad and my mom was coaxed into getting a dress for herself for the wedding.  It makes sense that they have a city that is the tailoring city, but why do they all the stores have the same fabrics and designs?

You can see some of the fabric selections but there are really a ton more

     Last night we left our hotel just as it started to pour and were running around looking for a certain restaurant that turned out to have a line out the door.  That's not saying much, but we opted in favor of a less-crowded restaurant by the river.  Hoi An is great about having really good food and veggie options that aren't just afterthoughts, but we went back to our tiny vegan place for lunch and probably will for dinner.

Not a very good picture, but you can kinda see the boats and some lanterns
